These #opensource #lamps look pretty decent: https://hackaday.com/2021/09/27/duolux-i.. I really like the idea of people being able to build this stuff themselves, rather than needing to shop for it.
It'll cost about $150 for #amazon 's new #paperwhite #eink #display https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/21/22684.. The only thing I wish is that it is #opensource - but that of course is completely against Amazon's goal of controlling the #software and #hardware stack to prevent #bypass of their #store ...
Nice custom #socialmedia #implementation named #honk built in #go https://honk.tedunangst.com/ It's of course #opensource https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk I will of course also push #deadsocial - although it is much less complete it is a million times more #lightweight https://github.com/danielbarry/d3ad-soci.. Slowly but surely!
This is one seriously powerful #opensource #linux #rotuer https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/08/30/.. I would be half tempted to run this as a #dailydriver ! Great work by the #bananapi folks!
Insanity, what is the point on working on faster and faster #software and #operatingsystems if the bloody #keyboard itself adds ridiculous #latency for no apparent reason? https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/ This is why we need more #affordable #opensource #keyboards ... After this #phd I will definitely be looking into creating my own #hardware - the current situation simply won't be tolerated.
Another set of #opensource #hardware #lowtech #ar #goggles https://hackaday.com/2021/09/02/a-microc.. I want a #devkit ! Get them in the hands of #hackers to write #software for!
Another #idea for a #company would be to create some kind of #news company. I have been thinking it could be cool to create something around #tech , #politics , #opensource , etc. It would be difficult to be #unique in an already crowded space, but I believe it could be done.
And this is why we need #opensource #flash #drives - you cannot trust them to operate safely or even in a way where they can detect their own #corruption https://goughlui.com/2017/05/30/experime.. In theory it should be possible to far exceed the #read and #write #cycles that the #nand supports...
The #us #sanctions on #iran have quite wide reaching implications, and unfortunately also inconvenience people who appear to be innocent: https://ahmadhaghighi.com/blog/2021/us-r.. It's difficult to see how this #iranian 's contribution to #opensource #fedora will bring down #america or even do anything other than contribute towards a greater good. All #commits are checked for #bugs and #backdoors anyway.
I really like the idea of #opensource #ereader #devices https://hackaday.com/2021/08/20/inkplate.. Man I really want one of #pine 's #pinenote devices! It's such a shame they cost so much...
Another month, another #pine update! https://www.pine64.org/2021/08/15/introd.. They have released the #pinenote which looks like an awesome #alternative to the #remarkable - it's also insanely #powerful too. I *really* want one, but most definitely cannot afford it at $400. I'm currently checking out #fitotrack for the #pinetime - an #opensource #fitness #app https://codeberg.org/jannis/FitoTrack Other than that, there is awesome progress on the #pinephone and #pinedio too!
Ouch, #microsoft #vba can't even correctly evaluate #ifstatements https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6803.. It's insane this #bug even exists... This is why #opensource is so much better.
I *really* want #opensource #ar and #vr #glasses https://hackaday.com/2021/08/14/3d-print.. I just really don't want to do the #assembly - it's a lot of effort and difficult to get right.
The #lightphone is an interesting idea, but it is *way* too expensive at $300: https://www.thelightphone.com/ I also don't trust the fact the website *refuses* to run without #js - doesn't lead to great expectations... If it was say $100 or less and #opensource - I could really get behind it.
Currently reading #linmob 's #linbits https://linmob.net/linbits-57-weekly-lin.. The updates are looking pretty good in the #opensource #phone #community ! #kalendar looks pretty nice, it's the first time this program has gotten onto my #radar !
Very, very impressive #hobbyos called #essence https://essence.handmade.network/ It's #opensource and supports a decent number of #features including #disk #audio #gpu #usb #network and much more: https://gitlab.com/nakst/essence The #design is also very nice - an extremely impressive #os !
